What Happens When Engine Oil is Low?
1 Answers
Insufficient engine oil can lead to poor lubrication of the engine's friction surfaces, resulting in abnormal vibrations and reduced power. More details are as follows: 1. Engine bearing seizure, where the crankshaft bearings and bearing bushings suffer from poor lubrication leading to burning, manifests as abnormal engine vibrations until the engine stalls. After stalling, the engine will be unable to restart. 2. Engine oil is a substance enhanced with additives in base oil, primarily containing anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade oil viscosity index improvers. Engine oil is used for lubricating internal combustion engines, with its main functions being to reduce friction and wear on moving parts and to remove sludge and varnish from the engine.
